Really? Throwing away your weapon? Who enters a battle with no spare ammo. Pure silliness.

This is excellent, beautifully illustrated and thoughtful manga that was overlooked wihen it was first published. The manga also offered a prose history of the Vietnam war and a short discussion of tactics and weapons. It was entertaining, informative and often moving.
